I’m interested to know the state of the JanusGraph-FoundationDB Storage Adapter: 4 years ago it was announced : [The JanusGraph FoundationDB Storage Adapter - Ted Wilmes, Expero Inc. - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQM_ZPZy8Ck&list=PLU8TPe7k8z9ew5W6YpACnGvjBDYaJVORZ&index=1) and, according to the README : [GitHub - JanusGraph/janusgraph-foundationdb: FoundationDB storage adapter for JanusGraph](https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph-foundationdb) the storage adapter is compatible only for the JanusGraph version 0.5.2 with FoundationDB version 6.2.22, while the latest JanusGraph version is 0.6.3 and the latest FoundationDB version is 7.2 ([FoundationDB 7.2 — FoundationDB 7.2](https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/) ) Since I don’ see FoundationDB listed in storage backends ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/foundationdb/original/2X/6/6079e27e08e6e7637e0e5b31f6b7e5dce03f8d77.png) and there is no official JanusGraph documentation about FoundationDB as Backend Storage, I would like to know if it is still feasible, and, more importantly, advisable, use FoundationDB as storage backend for JanusGraph ---

You’re welcome to check out the talk from the 2019 FoundationDB Summit on this too: [FoundationDB Summit 2019: NuGraph: GraphDB as a Cloud Service Built Upon JanusGraph and FoundationDB](https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/foundationdb-summit-2019-nugraph-graphdb-as-a-cloud-service-built-upon-janusgraph-and-foundationdb/1765/) . For “advisable”, especially, I think @jltz would probably have the best opinion out of anyone 🙂 ---

Any update to this? FDB is still not appear as a storage backend (not officially at least) on Janusgraph
